Max Gawn Ruled Out vs Pies

Ā 

Interesting that Egan mentioned Brown as a defensive option inĀ Talking Points.

I wonder if he could play back and shift Tomlinson into the ruck?

He also mentioned that Jordon and Sparrow were training 1v1 with the midfield group over the pre season and I forget sometimes,Ā given howĀ strong our first group is, that must be really good the development of these guys. Particularly, if they can get a look in early, like Sparrow has. Jordon is a great kid by all reports, so looking forward to seeing him play. Sounds like he's going to play inside mid too, which surprises me as one of his former coaches told me they used him as a half back.

I should say also that I didn't realise Egan had been "Head of Development" since 2016. I thought that was McCartney's role, at least for a time.

Anyway, Egan is super impressive. He has a certain aura aboutĀ him. I'd play for him, so seems like we're lucky to have him.

    Yep, nowhere near 100% though. They're pulling a Gawn with him.

    Could be a good time to play them

    The Melbourne Storm were an inspiration last night, missing key players

    We have to play a classic ā€œTeamā€ game tomorrowĀ

    Jack will carry usĀ 

    Been loving watching him play this year which isn't something I usually say because he can be a frustrating player with his kicking at times. Seems to be more composed now

    Watch him go sicko modeĀ

    Preuss will be a difficult assignment for Grundy to match his strength and height. Hope Preuss has the tank to follow.Ā

    Release the beast. Itā€™s time for Preuss imo. I think Gawn will miss and needs a 2Ā week break. Perhaps back for the Dogs challenge. Ā 

    'Release the beast...' is just so inspiring with Max unavailable. Release the Beast, release the Beast, release the Beast. I can imagine the potential scars on the Collingwood psyche, right now. No food for Preuss for 36 hours, he's got to be hungry at the first bounce. At 'em, Killer!

    It's OK that Pendles is playing ... first target for AVB, and then Preuss. Second target for Viney. Balanced attack.Ā

    shouldn't need too much tank to keep up with grundy. grundy has already showed signs of tiring and is coming off a 4 day break

    preuss needs to hit him hard at ball ups and not give him any repite. i suspect grundy will limit his range, probably to mainly between the arcs

    having saidĀ that, grundy will probably play a blinder just because it's us

    I hope Preuss is ready to come off the chain. Ā He is a physical guy. Ā Iā€™m not after 20 possessions. Ā In his scope , I want Preuss to compete and be physical within the rules.Ā

    So are we to assume Gawn will be out for another month with this PCL now?Ā  which is the rest of the season really

    And the Adelaide game has shown us that whacking someone incessantly behind the play is ok!

    No. 50/50 for next week, so you'd think he'd miss the next 2 games at most.

    So closely umpired, too ... absolutely acceptable, absolutely too difficult to adjudicate for umpires despite its frequency; we are left with absolute clarity on its approval, its relevance to the game and legitimacy in assisting the umpires to 'even up' a game.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodā€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
